UnMuted: advance your career and share your message without letting fear or anxiety stop you.
A 10-Week Communication Confidence Program for Marginalized Voices
You have a message to share, and our world needs to hear it. UnMuted is a 10-week communication confidence program designed specifically for sensitive, thoughtful, and creative leaders—including women, queer, trans, and non-binary individuals. If you are ready to overcome speaking anxiety, move past shrinking, and start sharing your message courageously, this is your invitation to lead with authentic, grounded confidence.
Secure your spot in the upcoming pilot cohort and let your voice be heard.
a world where you...
Speak up confidently in meetings, sharing your valuable insights without hesitation.
Seize new leadership opportunities, presenting your ideas with clarity and impact to executives and stakeholders.
Navigate challenging conversations with colleagues, friends, or family, maintaining your calm and communicating effectively.
Communicate with greater clarity and reduce the post-conversation rumination that often follows.
You know what you want to say. You just don't always feel safe, confident, or heard when you say it.
You over-explain.
You go quiet in rooms where you could be leading. You've been told you're "too much" - or not enough.
You've missed opportunities or have been overlooked because you were afraid to share.
But that changes today.

You've been waiting
for the right moment
to use your voice.
This is it.
This Program is For You If...
You know you have something important to say, but an internal voice tells you it isn't good enough. You're ready to move past shrinking and into sharing.
You identify as a woman, nonbinary, genderqueer, or trans who habitually holds back in conversations.
You deal with imposter syndrome when sharing your expertise.
You experience a physical shutdown when it’s time to speak (throat tightening, flushed cheeks, shallow breathing).
You have brilliant ideas, but they feel scattered, stuck, or silenced by the fear of being "too much" or "too quiet."
You value collective bravery, supportive community, and real action.
Hi, I'm Alyson
Alyson Hendry, M.A.,CCC-SLP & Communication Coach (she/her)
For 16 years as a speech-language pathologist, I have helped people from marginalized communities gain communication confidence and learn to share their message authentically. I founded UnMuted on the belief that confident communication is a skill anyone can learn, when you feel safe enough to do so. I have lived with speaking anxiety my entire life, and I practice what I teach.
I don’t believe your speaking anxiety or insecurities are problems to be “fixed,” rather, they are there for a valuable reason. With compassion and understanding, we can soften their intensity, allowing you to practice skills in an affirming community, and begin to develop communication confidence.
I hope you join us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't start on July 14 or have weeks I will miss?
That’s ok. While there will be live instruction, all lessons will be recorded and you can catch up at any point in time. Two weeks off have been included to accommodate needs. The lessons will be curated to be complementary and support one another, but not sequential.
You will have lifetime access to the lessons and in person support will be available through the end of September. You also will receive one complimentary 1:1 coaching session with Alyson to schedule at your convenience by September 30.
What if I'm terrified of public speaking?
That’s why we’re here! Everyone is in the same boat. No one will be pushed to do anything without their agreement. If you choose to be a fly on the wall and observe because that’s what you need, that is fine. If you choose to try just one or two small speaking related activities, great. If you go full-blown capstone experience, wonderful.
No matter your engagement, I guarantee you will learn SO MUCH in this experience. Everything we do will be first rooted in feeling SAFE to practice. If you need a push, I’ll push you. If you need permission to just listen and absorb, consider it granted.
I really want to participate, but I can't afford this right now. Do you offer any financial aid?
1-2 scholarship spots will be available in the pilot cohort of UnMuted. Please fill out this form to be considered. Additionally, you can pay in 3 installments at no extra cost (see pricing for details).
I'm hesitant to spend extra money right now, how do I know it's worth my investment?
You will get out of this program what you put into this program. Communication skills can be learned by anyone at any age with exposure and practice. If you commit to the program, you will develop new skills.
Consider the cost of NOT addressing your speaking anxiety. What opportunities have you already missed or been overlooked for? Don’t worry, there are many more opportunities to come, but let’s get you ready for them so you can step into them when they arise! Most people indicate that strong communication is the #1 skill that helps them succeed at work, business, and relationships. Invest in yourself and you will get a return on that investment!
How long until I see results?
Most clients report tangible improvements in their communication in as little as one session. Each lesson is structured to give you immediate tools and frameworks to apply in daily life. You'll have the opportunity to practice your new skills on our live calls as well as in the UnMuted Uprising community. Practice=progress.
Is there a refund policy?
If you commit yourself to the entire course, show evidence of completion of all lessons, engagement with the assignments, practice in the UnMuted Uprising community, complete carryover activities, and reach out to me directly for support at least once and still believe you have truly gained nothing, refunds will be considered on a case by case basis.
The program is designed to be cumulative, each lesson complimenting another, but not linear. If you are in the program and feel your progress is limited or the course content is unclear, I encourage you to reach out directly so we can make adjustments and set you up for success. Communication skills are not built overnight; they are developed throughout the course of your life. There is no way to "learn it all" or "do it perfectly." Our shared goal is progress, not perfection.

Confident Communication Starts Here

Strengthen your voice
I was speaking too fast and oftentimes incoherently, which impacted my communication with others. After communication coaching, I found myself able to slow down while speaking, and also speak more clearly overall. I honestly gained a new sense of confidence around my speaking. Beforehand, I typically felt uncomfortable speaking in front of larger groups, worried I would speak unclearly.
Working with Alyson has been the best investment I’ve ever made—and I recently spent $60,000 to join a business mastermind, so that’s saying something! As a result of her coaching, I am vastly more understood and confident in my speaking, which has allowed me to close more deals, form deeper relationships, and create better content. Alyson is incredibly thoughtful, professional, and deeply knowledgeable. She taught me subtle yet massive shifts that completely changed how I communicate. She is by far the #1 speaking coach around. Working with her has truly been a life-changing experience.
Alyson was extremely helpful in finding and building back up my communication skills, healthy vocals/vocal training exercise, dietary/food balancing and memory retention.
I loved the highly personalized sessions and working together to come up with ideas, as well as the follow up articles and resources. Alyson really cares and tailors to the individual.
